Semiflexible polymer in a uniform force field in two dimensions.
The conformational properties of a semiflexible polymer chain, anchored at one end in a uniform force field, are studied in a simple two-dimensional model. Recursion relations are derived for the partition function and then iterated numerically. We calculate the angular fluctuations of the polymer about the direction of the force field and the average polymer configuration as functions of the b...
متن کاملKinetics of interior loop formation in semiflexible chains.
Loop formation between monomers in the interior of semiflexible chains describes elementary events in biomolecular folding and DNA bending. We calculate analytically the interior distance distribution function for semiflexible chains using a mean field approach. Using the potential of mean force derived from the distance distribution function we present a simple expression for the kinetics of i...
متن کاملPulling-speed-dependent force-extension profiles for semiflexible chains.
We present theory and simulations to describe nonequilibrium stretching of semiflexible chains that serve as models of DNA molecules. Using a self-consistent dynamical variational approach, we calculate the force-extension curves for worm-like chains as a function of the pulling speed, v(0). Due to nonequilibrium effects the stretching force, which increases with v(0), shows nonmonotonic variat...
متن کاملConstrained random-force model for weakly bending semiflexible polymers.
The random-force (Larkin) model of a directed elastic string subject to quenched random forces in the transverse directions has been a paradigm in the statistical physics of disordered systems. In this Brief Report, we investigate a modified version of the above model where the total transverse force along the polymer contour and the related total torque, in each realization of disorder, vanish...
متن کاملSemiflexible polymer conformation, distribution and migration in microcapillary flows.
The flow behavior of a semiflexible polymer in microchannels is studied using multiparticle collision dynamics, a particle-based hydrodynamic simulation technique. Conformations, distributions, and radial cross-streamline migration are investigated for various bending rigidities, with persistence lengths L(p) in the range 0.5 ≤ L(p)/L(r) ≤ 30. The flow behavior is governed by the competition be...
